Talk:Shade

Name

It seemed like the Pathfinder Remaster had renamed petitioners to shades, and GM Core 174 points readers to Monster Core for more information about shades. (A reference to "Petitioners" in a GM Core glossary entry for "shade" seemed more like an error than an intentional variance.)

However, shades don't appear in Monster Core, and Divine Mysteries seems to refer to post-souls exclusively as petitioners. The only uses of "shade" in Divine Mysteries are in the names of organizations (Shades of the Uskwood) or generic (referring to shadows, colors, or to remnants of a being not consistent with descriptions of shades/petitioners as creatures).

Monster Core also flips between "shade" (re: phantoms 262) and "petitioner" (also re: phantoms 262, azuretzis 271) in tangential references to them. -Oznogon (talk) 18:14, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
